Yeah, and it's fucking stupid how seriously they are taking it. There goes any chance for a second season; in fact, it may take down the entire studio. JPs get too goddamn butthurt over the smalling fucking things. Canceling preorders over a joke? BOMBING VA TWITTER/FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS WITH PENISES? This is the K-ON or Kannagi breaking discs/burning novels bullshit all over again.

KITAMURA ERI? pineappleING LINES HAVE BEEN CROSSED
Also, I don't find Kokoro Connect to be that great of a show anyways, but rather than simple bullying, this seems more along the lines of ruining this kid's career possibilities.

I've had some difficulty getting into Kokoro Connect myself. It's not that I don't like it, it just somehow, hasn't fit the shows that I usually like. Will still end up finishing it, but after this whole thing I'm not going to get too attached regardless of how it ends and all, given that it basically guarantees nothing further from this show.

pomegranate hit the fan about as hard as expected, but still, simply knowing the majority of what is going to happen doesn't take the force of it away, not completely.

OH GOD HIS "LITTLE SISTER" IS SO CUTE. SOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE. ASDUFGWDHIU
Spoiler
by the way, there are two key reasons why I don't think it is really her; one, because his assistant already knew who she was and I have a feeling she faked the DNA test results, and two, because Mei said she was friends with his little sister and Yuzurina clearly had no idea who she was. Even if she is his real sister, there has to be at least one more unless Mei was lying about knowing her.
Oh man, I just looked her VA up...ITS FUCKING OGURA YUI. GOD DAMN YOU JAPAN, GOD DAMN YOU FOR CONSTANTLY TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK.

So tired of the tsundere archetype. She makes a mistake then attacks and blames him, pineapple.
more importantly though

I can agree with that with the characters that are more tsun than dere, but Asuna is much more dere. Besides, I'd think that's a rather normal reaction, given the situation.
Really great episode anyway. I expected to have half the screen not visible at the end there, glad it wasn't.

She's the pervert who thought he wanted to have sex with her. Aside from that though, deretsun > deredere > tsundere. Just a tiny bit of tsun helps, but almost everything nowadays makes them psychotic bitches and not tsunderes. I like how they did Miyabi's personality in nakaimo, personally.

It's not just tsundere, it's "Kirito is a pineappleing idiot", doesn't matter what her archetype is, she should hit him regardless for being that stupid. ALSO TWO YEARS WORTH OF SEMEN MADE A GLOPPING NOISE AS IT FLOWED ENDLESSLY INTO ASUNA
I had ended up believing that Ethic Code function wasn't actually canon, but I am pleasantly surprised. And now I'm slightly afraid they'll start animating more doujin chapters to fill the last episodes... Everyone should go read chapter 16.5 now.
Spoiler
Half a pineappleing frame on UTWoots release. They should extend it a few seconds or something, it's worth at least that much.
Kokoro Connect 10: Makes be cringe a bit thinking what could possibly happen next.
Accel World 22: It still pisses me off how we haven't found out why Chiyu is doing whatever the hell she's doing, and how I know the reason won't be good.
Seitokai Yakuindomo 04: So pineappleing good. Each time, they announce a new OVA episode, I'm worried if they'll just keep adding more and end up with no 2nd season =/ Well, it's nice to get better production and planning though.

Waiting for Hagure Yuusha to finish downloading T_T Still don't really understand what's going on, but I find it quite enjoyable nonetheless.
Also, I watched Kaze no Stigma over the week, and wow that was a pineappleing good show in my opinion. Great amounts of drama and action, with fantastic comedy and a kickass main character, and not everything was resolved with a picture perfect happy ending, i.e. some amounts of realism. It's such a tragedy the author died without completing the novels =[
[MENTION=21]Tikey[/MENTION] laughing so hard right now
Got tired of Kirito being overpowered and I'm finally glad he wasn't in this episode. Getting annoyed with Asuna repeating herself like a broken record though ("Everything's all my fault!"). And lolol at the hook up scene. Especially in the light novel. How Kirito didn't experience blue balls is a mystery.
SAO 10: Between this episode and the previous, I can't decide which one I liked more. Glad to see that Kirito's solo playing style is finally catching up to him though, can't wait to see the next episode.
Also, from my POV Asuna may have jumped the gun really quickly but I would think anyone would hit Kirito for being an idiot at that part.

We'll probably get a second season next year at some point (thank god).
I thought that announcement was about the 5th OVA episode coming out with the 8th volume, since at the time, there were only 4 episodes announced. They might announce a second season with that volume though.
Also, is it just me or is ANN's font blurry? I always have trouble reading things on that site. Hurts my eyes.
Sword Art 1-10: Thank the heavens. Can't believe I didn't start this sooner. Love it love it love it. This is the anime style I've been wanting to see done well since I watched Tower of Druaga (which was also good ). I wanna start reading it... but I also dont want to finish reading it or end up getting ahead of the anime (not enough self control to stop reading it if I start xD)
Kokoro Connect 10: Inaba is so my favorite character. Seeing such a cute side of her in this episode was awesome. I also like Iori a bit more after this episode.
Spoiler
I admit, as soon as I saw that cliff I thought 'Holy pomegranate', and when Heartseed said Taichi fell.. I jumped to the same conclusion Inaba did
I'm wondering about Heartseed. So far he's only taken control of Iori (twice) and he appears to Inaba far more than he does to the other characters, and he seems hell bent on breaking her and messing with her. Just seems a bit weird is all, but it's still too early to guess anything.
Title of the next arc is Random Past (the first arc was Random People and the second arc was Random Wound). I wonder what that could mean? false memories?
Sword Art Online Ep 10 - For those who think that Kirito seems a lot less overpowered in this episode, keep that red-tinted moment in his fight against Heathcliff in mind; it becomes a plot point later on.
Anyway, Sword Skills shown so far:
Spoiler
One-Handed Sword
Horizontal - Single horizontal slash.
Vertical - Single vertical slash.
Slant - Single diagonal slash.
Vertical Arc - 2-hit combo of consecutive slashes in a V-shape.
Horizontal Square - 4-hit combo of consecutive slashes in the shape of a square.
Sonic Leap - The user is propelled high above the enemy, slashing as he lands.

Dual Swords
Starburst Stream - 16-hit combo of consecutive slashes.
Rapier
Linear - A single forward thrust.
Star Splash - 8-hit combo of consecutive thrusts.
Two-Handed Sword
Avalanche - Supposedly an extremely powerful blow that can cause the target to stagger even if guarded, but Cradil never gets to use it; he gets interrupted by Kirito's Rage Spike.
Curved Sword
Reaver - Sort of like Rage Spike, except that the distance that can be covered isn't very long. Used by Klein in ep 1.
Fell Crescent - See Sonic Leap. Used by the Lizardman against Kirito in ep 8.
Katana
Note: The following skills were all used by Illfang the Kobold Lord in the Light Novel. Some may have been excluded in the anime, but I'm too lazy to check.
Tsumujiguruma - The user jumps into the air and lands spinning with Katana outstretched. Deals heavy damage to surrounding enemies and may stun them.
Ukifune - An upward slash that launches the target into the air. Chains into Hiougi; if successfully chained, there is no escape.
Hiougi - 3-hit combo consisting of an upward slash, followed by a downward slash, finishing off with a powerful thrust.
Tsujikaze - A single slash too fast for the eye to see.
Gengetsu - A series of upward and downward slashes.
Two-Handed Axe
Whirlwind - The user spins his Axe like a whirlwind to strike the enemy.
Martial Arts
Embracer - The user thrusts forward an open palm, fingers first, and embeds his hand deep inside the enemy's body.
